A mange mite infestation can be quite itchy for your kitty. Although somewhat uncommon in cats, mange is a condition that results from an infestation of mites. These nasty little parasites cause lots of itching and redness for your fur kid's skin. Give your kitty some relief from these pests by bringing her to the vet for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Penicillin is the antibiotic most commonly used to treat syphilis. Penicillin is usually given as a shot (injection). If you are allergic to penicillin, your doctor may prescribe another antibiotic in early stages of syphilis, such as doxycycline, tetracycline, ceftriaxone, or azithromycin.
Women who are infected during pregnancy can pass on the infection to the fetus through the placenta. Penicillin must be used in pregnant patients with syphilis since other antibiotics do not effectively cross the placenta to treat the infected fetus. Left untreated, syphilis can lead to blindness or even death of the infant.
